        This film is pretty much the one man show of Tom Hanks. I think Wilson the volleyball gets more screen time than Helen Hunt. Tom Hanks does an amazing job as a FedEx employee that is trapped on a desert island by himself after a plane crash. And no there aren't any smoke monsters, polar bears, or mysterious hatches either.

        A great survival-on-an-island movie. Tom Hanks is superb. A sad story, but one that most people will like.

        Probably one of the best disaster emotional films ever. A classic game of survival that is played absolutely perfectly.
